Green buildings: costpremiums average$3/ft2-$5/ft2, or lessthan 2% of initial costs.
New high-performancegreen buildings: costpremium range from2%-7%, depending onthe specific designfeatures integrated.LEED green buildings:additional cost ofcertified projects: 0%-2.5%, Silver 0%-3.5%,
Gold 0.5%-5%,Platinum 4.5%+.
New greenbuildings: meansavings is 27%;mean value foractual
consumption is1% lower thanmodeled.
New greenbuildings: 50%reducedconsumptioncompared toconventional
new buildings.
New greenbuildings: energycost savingscompared toconventional
design as highas $0.47/ft

Commissioningnew buildings:average savingsof $0.05/ft2.
Installing high-performance lighting:productivityimprovements of 0.7%-26% with a median of
3.2%.
Incorporatingdaylighting: productivityimprovements of 0.45%-40%, mean of 5.5%.
Increasing naturalventilation: productivityimprovements of 3%-18%, mean of 8.5%.
High-performancebuildings:simplepayback
period can beas short as2.0 years foroffices, 2.1years forlibraries, and2.6 years forschools.
GHG emissions reductions:as high as 36%.
Reduced indoor and outdoorwater consumption: 30% and50%, respectively.
Reduced waste consumption:50%-75%.

Energy-efficient asopposed toconventional products:cost premium varieswith each product, butmost often thedifference is slight.
Energy-efficient productprocurement: savings of
3%-12% of totalbuilding energyconsumption.
Energy-efficient productprocurement: energy costsavings of 4%-17% relative tototal commercial energycosts.

Green power: about 2/kWh.Premiums vary by utility butrange from 0.2/kWh-17.6/kWh
Renewable energy certificates(RECs): 1/kWh (in ME) -about 5/kWh (in MA). SolarREC prices in NJ are thehighest at 25/kWh
RECs offered by a certificatemarketer: 0.5/kWh -7.5/kWh, with an average of2.3/kWh. RECs are alsoavailable at $5.50/ton CO2 to$12/ton CO2, with an averageof $9.80/ton CO2.
N/A Utility green power programs:For some utility green powerprograms, the premium can benegative, thus reducing energy
bills. These premiums havebeen as low as -0.13/kWh
Purchasing 1 MWh of green power is equivalentto:
d
0.14 passenger cars not driven for one year;
0.52 acres of pine or fir forests storing carbonfor one year;
16 tree seedlings grown for 10 years;
0.21 tons of waste recycled instead oflandfilled; and
71 gallons of gasoline.

Total Costs Energy Savings or EnergyGenerated Cost Savings Emission Reductions
Small-scale CHP plant: installed cost of$1.60/W for systems less than 500 kW,and about $1/W for systems between 0.5
MW and 5 MW.
Installed costs for on-siteCHP systems average around $2.90/Win California.
Solar photovoltaics: average shipmentprice in 2004 was $3.00/W; the averageprice in 2005 was $3.20/W.cTotal costs,including the inverter, installation, andbalance of system range from $6-$9 perpeak Watt. Installed costs for PV
modules average around $8.70/W inCalifornia and $7.90/W in New J ersey.
Small wind turbine: including installation,ranges from $14,700-$20,800 for a low-range model; $28,100-$59,600 for a mid-range model; and $105,000 and$115,000, respectively, for two elitemodels. Installed costs for on-site windgeneration average around $3.60/W inCalifornia.
CHP systems: energysavings as high as 40%.
10 kW solar PV system:
generates 9,700 kWh/year to16,800 kWh/year, dependingon the location of thesystem.
Wind turbine with 84-foottower and 7-foot diameter(rated at 900 W): generates96 kWh/month at an averagewind speed of 10 mph and
155 kWh/month at 12 mph. Wind turbinewith 140-foot
tower and 50-foot diameter(rated at 65 kW): generates3,674 kWh/month at 10 mphand 5,992 kWh/month at 12mph.
CHP systems: as high as40% of the cost of operatingseparate heat and power
systems. 10 kW solar PV system: from
about $600-$1,400 per year,depending on the geographiclocation of the system.
900W wind turbine: costsavings range from $9/mo.-$14/mo per installed turbine.
65 kW wind turbine: range
from $330/mo -$540/mo. Perinstalled turbine.
CHP systems: equivalent toabout 2.6 lbs NOx/MWh, 5.8lbs SOx/MWh, and 1,200 lbs
CO2/MWh. 10 kW solar PV system: from
12,000 lbs-20,000 lbs of CO2,10 lbs-90 lbs of SOx, and 4lbs- 90 lbs of NOx per year.
Single 10-meter wind turbinewith 750 kW capacity withwind speeds ranging between12.5 and 13.4 mph: 2.36
million lbs of CO2, 13,800 lbsof SOx, and 8,600 lbs of NOxin one year.
